Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, dock builders need some type of license. In some states, only a general construction license might be necessary, while a marine construction license is required in others. You can check online to see which is mandatory in your area, and then you can use Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to make sure the company holds the proper license. Since dock construction is inherently dangerous, confirm with your builder that they are fully insured for everyone’s protection.</p></div>

Len did a great job with our deck. He was very professional and took the time to listen to my deck design ideas. He and his staff completed the project on time. The quote for the project was reasonable. Based on my experience I would recommend Len for installing and/or deck repair projects

This company put in a new roof years ago. Owner was the best. New people took over - paid them $900 for repairs, still having problems. Never returned my call in last storm, left me hanging with a big problem of water coming in. Doesn't take care of his customers. Hired a new roofer.

"I signed a contract to have my ipe deck power washed. While it was advised to stain at the same time, I chose not to have this service done by this company at this time. The work done was incomplete, the deck had areas that were not cleaned and the railing which is a softer wood, shredded on many spindles. There were areas of the railings that seem to randomly be sprayed and had inconsistent markings from uneven strokes. I initially spoke to Frank about this by phone. While most of the main deck was done well, and in my opinion was completed/clean, the areas stated above were not acceptable. I was told that he would send someone to the house when he was in the area. Two of our neighbors then remarked at how unsightly the job was upon entrance to the yard. I then sent Frank an email with pictures. He responded right away asking to come the next morning to see the job. The owner, Frank was rude and condescending, taking no responsibility for the quality of his work. He accused me of lying about the initial contract, saying that I crossed out staining the deck on the agreement when in fact I only signed to have it cleaned. I was shocked and disappointed at his behavior. He said that he told us the deck would look terrible-(that is his subjective opinion about cleaned ipe) the areas that were cleaned did look the way I expected, and in my opinion looked the way I paid to have them done, clean! He was not able to hear that, and as he instructed my husband to go in the house because he did not like his behavior, I asked him to leave my property, which he did. In the end, the young man that was left to try and fix the job, was very kind and did greatly improve the work especially the dirt left on the deck. He explained that he would sand the rails but in the end did not have the correct sandpaper or the correct nozzle to get to the small spaces. The owner said he should clean it as hard as it could, even if all the wood splinters. Fortunately the young man had better sense and did his best which did not include further damaging the wood. Seventy percent of the payment was made and they are returning payment for the remaining 30 percent, they don't want anything to do with me. Thankfully I feel the same."
